The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a
software platform for distributed computing using volunteered computer
resources. For every scientific problem its own distinct project-server
must be provided. The users only run a common client with project-specific
additions (if not self-compiled or available as a Linux distribution's
package itself) being downloaded from the server.

This package extends the boinc-server-maker package. It features a
series of small applications that a newly installed environment may
decide to use for testing purposes. Having them separated has the neat
side effect that thosee binaries may be retrieved more easily for foreign
platforms to feed the local servers with.

The package also features the wrapper application, which is likely
to find its audience also in real projects.

==================
This package is of a very technical nature. It is all about rendering the binary applications
of a BOINC project, i.e. those binaries that are shipped to the volunteer for computation,
directly and independently available. This will help with the setup of cross-platform
BOINC projects, especially with the wrapper application.
More strategically, it sounds li
